@Chace Fraser to @Marc Rice's point...it's super local...neighborhoods are transitioning very rapidly in the Columbus market, so it's sometimes street-to-street...we used to use federal block groups to do our research...its the only way to get specific enough to make informed decisions...but general neighborhoods can provide you 80% of the accuracy...when you move to zip codes you reach about 60% accuracy...and looking at an entire city in aggregate is...well, it's not going to be a good indicator for decisions making.

@Marc Rice thank you!

If you are comfortable with bigger numbers you can look at the Heights,  Rice Military, Montrose areas. 

I just learned there are ceramic tiles and there are subway tile backsplash, that you can just peel off and stick (I think).  does it matter which one I go with?

@Marc Rice never thought Ohio would be a good market, I definitely need to check it out.

@Damaso Bautista if we're talking eating beans and rice over steak dinners then I'm already there!

We have come across many situations where a new buyer has to assume the loan or the seller has to pay off balances before title passes on the property.it can get sticky in a transactionbest of luck!
